In this episode, I talk about the process of traumatization using the concept of EMLI where stands for Event, M for meaning, L stands for Landscape, I stands for Inescapability.

I explain how the event can range from someone pointing a gun at your face to more subtle experiences of abandonment and betrayal. Once a person is exposed to a traumatic event, the meaning they associate with it decides whether or not it will be registered as trauma. Meaning is related to the possibility of a loss of something that a person is attached with.

Landscape explains the neuroelectricalchemistry of the brain and how the already present stresses play a role in traumatization. Finally, I talk about inescapability, the freedom to move out of the situation.
